Pregnancy-Pregnant women should consult a physician before using an infrared sauna.

Pacemaker / Defibrillator–The magnets used to assemble our wooden saunas can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. Please discuss with your doctor the possible risks this may cause.

Joint Injury–If you have a recent (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48 hours after an injury or until the swollen symptoms subside. If you have a joint or joints that are chronically hot and swollen, these joints may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind.

Implants-Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician prior to using an infrared sauna.

The United States Center for Disease Control estimates that the root causes of more than 80% of all illnesses are found in personal environments or lifestyles. In other words, the world around you can make you sick. It’s in the air we breathe, and in the food we eat. There’s very little we can do to reduce exposure. We can, however, use infrared sauna detox as a treatment.

Researchers have long told us how the body sweats out toxic substances, including heavy metals. As long as you maintain proper hydration, the more you safely sweat, the more toxins you’ll expel from your body. One of the safest and most effective methods for inducing a detoxifying sweat is an infrared sauna. In infrared sauna detox, your body sweats out numerous toxins through your pores.

Detoxification is important because it strengthens the body’s immune system and helps the body’s biochemical processes function efficiently so that we are better able to digest the nutrients in our foods. Detoxification has also been shown to be helpful with colitis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, auto-immune disease, immune deficiency states, autism, ADD and ADHD

Weight Loss: Infrared saunas are clinically shown to dramatically aid weight loss. In a 2009 study, infrared saunas were shown to help lower weight and waist circumference in just a three-month period. And for those who led a sedentary life due to medical conditions such as osteoarthritis, cardiovascular or respiratory problems, the weight loss results were even more profound. Infrared sauna sessions were shown to burn up to 600 calories. During an infrared sauna session, the bodies’ core temperatures increase and the body has to work hard to cool itself, causing a healthy sweat. Using an infrared sauna increases heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, burning more calories, leading to more weight loss.

Relaxation is more important to health than most people realize. The American Institute of Stress estimates that 75 to 90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related problems. Long-term stress is the cause of countless physiological effects on the body, including increased blood pressure, weight gain and weakening of the immune system. According to New York Times best-selling author and fitness expert Jorge Cruise – as well as many other health professionals – the more stressed you are, the more cortisol your body produces. Cortisol is a “fight or flight” hormone made in the adrenal glands that raises heart rate and blood pressure and leads to the deposit of excess calories in the midsection. Scientific evidence also shows that infrared sauna therapy helps the body maintain healthy levels of cortisol. While cortisol levels stay the same or rise slightly during an infrared sauna therapy session, they drop immediately afterward.

Pain relief: Chronic pain patients have experienced a significant reduction in pain levels (nearly 70%) after the first session of infrared sauna therapy. The use of near-infrared heat therapy helps the production of white blood cells to alleviate inflammation and reduce swelling, two key factors in easing bodily pain. The infrared sauna heat works by penetrating joints, muscles and tissues, increasing circulation and speeding oxygen flow. By reducing soreness on nerve endings, the infrared sauna reduces muscle spasms and helps the body heal itself naturally.

Blood Pressure Reduction: Infrared sauna therapy is both safe and effective at improving clinical symptoms and cardiac function as well as decreasing cardiac size in chronic heart failure patients. Repeated infrared sauna treatments improved impaired blood vessel functions in patients with high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. This suggests a preventive role for infrared sauna use for arteriosclerosis. Infrared saunas were shown to lower blood pressure through a program of 30 minute infrared sauna session 3 times per week. Infrared sauna therapy dilates blood vessels and reduces the volume of their inner lining, thus increasing circulation to promote healthy blood pressure.

Improved Circulation: The elevation in body temperature from infrared sauna therapy produces an increase in blood flow that mirrors the benefits of a passive cardiovascular workout. Regular infrared sauna use has been shown to significantly stimulate blood flow similar to a cardio workout. Another benefit of improved circulation is quick muscle recovery after your regular workouts. The increased peripheral circulation from our infrared heat reduces inflammation, decreases pain and speeds healing, all important steps in helping the body recover from strenuous activity.

Clears Cellulite: Infrared sauna treatment clears cellulite, the gel-like lumps of fat, water and debris trapped in pockets beneath the skin. The infrared sauna warms three times as deeply as conventional saunas and is more effective in reducing cellulite.

Improve the Immune System: The infrared sauna’s deep heat raises your body temperature, inducing an artificial fever. As your body works to combat the fever, your immune system is strengthened. Combined with the elimination of toxins and wastes produced by the intense sweating, your overall health and resistance to disease is increased.

Dr. Oz on infrared saunas: “It makes the same rays that come from the sun and filters out the UV radiation, so it only gives you the infrared radiation. The high temperature helps lower blood pressure and increase blood circulation. It gets your heart to beat faster, and it burns calories. It raises your metabolism a little bit, and also when you sweat, you sweat out toxins through the skin.”

Infrared Sauna Risks

Dehydration is a risk of using any type of sauna. The heat from the sauna causes your body to sweat, which removes liquids from the body. Remember to drink water or electrolyte beverages before, after and during your time in the infrared sauna to prevent dehydration.
